Question

An investor comes to your office. He says that if you give him the $5,000 he will add on an additional $50 each year to what he owes you. Create the function for this investor's plan.

Answer 1

@ranga

Answer 2

R = x +50 -5000

R = revenue , money brought it
x = years

Answer 3

the x is the years, 50 each year, and you give away 5000, so you subtract that from the f-n
im new to this but it seems ok to me

Answer 4

So he will add the same $50 each year. So for t years it will be: 50 * t
The balance on the account will be: 5000 + 50*t

Answer 5

can I put 5000+50t

Answer 6

Yes. The maturity amount A after t years will be: A = 5000 + 50t

Answer 7

f(t)=5000+ft

Answer 8

not ft. but 50t

Answer 9

It's ok to put A for the function?

Answer 10

as long as each symbol is defined clearly. You can say A or even A(t) is the maturity amount after t years.

If you prefer to use f that is fine too. Then you will say f(t) = 5000 + 50t where f(t) represents the amount after t years.

Answer 11

what about for the previous functions we did

Answer 12

functions dont always have to be f(x) or y = ... etc.
f(x) = mx + b is a function. y = mx + b is also a function. z = 2t^2 + 3t is also a function. So it does not matter as along as you define what each term represents.

Answer 13

ok thank you!

Answer 14

alright. yw.
